Sometimes I wonder if the wording on this forum and all of the people who comment here has or has not gotten out of hand, I mean way out of hand! It's so out of hand that I worry for the mental health and the trolls or not.
It's all Ann M Martin's fault, point blank. Not only does she write too many female bad guys for her work; but she completely shags and shames motherhood for kicks, god forbid men be the bad guys for once, god forbid a dad could be faulted for divorce. Hell, when I was in high school, I admit to being a troubled kid in detention; hey I rapped when I was in high school, and if you didn't rap in high school then you didn't do the 90's right! One thing I noticed when I was a teenager in detention was that the males outnumbered the females ten to one or ten to twenty, because males misbehave in real life, and Ann M Martin always seemed like she was afraid to write in a male juvenile delinquent or a male misbehaving babysitter's client, [except in two books, Logan Bruno, Boy Babysitters where Logan gets mixed up with the wrong crowd, for the male juvenile delinquents and Bill Korman in Claudia's Big Party for the misbehaving male/child client] and the ghostwriters just pick up and follow her lead.
Meanwhile, you then have the subject of divorce, and I'm sorry but that's the way life goes. When you make a vow, for life it's not a requirement it's just a goal. If things are too toxic and you get mistreated you need to divorce before it's too late and NOT stay together for the kids, that's the worst thing you can do; not everybody can make it til death do us part; it's a goal that's not always reached. You have to divorce 50/50 fault. Nobody should stay inside a toxic marriage with our without kids, that would be a form of slavery. Unfortunately, on topics like these it just brings out the divorce snowflakes who can't help but comment what little they know of divorce, it's always mom's fault, never dad's. Stay for the kids! Divorce messes up kids! Golddiggers love alimony! Etc. Etc. Okay, where was I? Ah yes, now I remember. These comments here on these forums makes me wonder just how lightweight people can be; especially when you get down to it, they're ranting about divorced a real life-issue, for people who don't exist in real life! They're just fictional characters in stories, but the way they go on and on you'd think they were writing about friends of theirs who live with divorced parents! Meanwhile, the titles is called "The Babysitters Club" it's a series, it's more than one book and it's fiction at that, not meant to be taken serious. You see where I'm going with this; much like their dismal opinion about divorce, these people commenting are always so shocked when the parents [characters] in each book leaves the kids with babysitters, and they then label and stereotype parents who use babysitters as bad parents and bad people. Let alone the fact that they're also shocked that there is babysitting in these books; I mean, these books are from The Babysitters Club, about teens who babysit kids, and books by The Babysitters Club has a club that centers on babysitting; would feature babysitting in every single book that was written! What are the odds?! I'd hate to see their takes on abortion!
Real Life: Rapists, child molesters, scams, fraud, assault and battery, even murder? To them: Water under the bridge.
Fictional Young Adult Novels The Babysitters Club: A divorced family moves to Stoneybrook and they need a babysitter for their kids?! SOMEONE CALL IN THE NATIONAL GAURD QUICK!!!!!!
